Look what I did!

I got online, found a tutorial for photoshop use specifically for scrapbooking and made my first digital scrapbook pages! I am so proud of myself, I thought I would share it with all (3) of you who read my blog! Everything used for these two pages I downloaded for free on shabbyprincess.com. Take a look.

I have a ton of other things I've wanted to share (my high school 10 year reunion, my anniversary, etc.) but my pictures won't download to my computer. The program keeps quitting before the pictures are there, but I'll keep trying! What fun is a blog without a picture? Some are fun, but I'm not funny or interesting enough just to write and have you all keep coming back for more. That being said I'm off again! Maybe if I can get my pictures on, you'll see seven posts next time you visit me here!
Later! =)

My Husband is the Man!

So, he was out of town on business (which happens a lot lately) and the lawnmower broke down. Actually it broke down before he left, but whatever. My awesome mom brought their lawnmower over to me so I could mow it while he was gone and ours was in the shop. When he returned (and I cried tears of joy instead of tears of loneliness) he called and was told it would cost $230 to fix the lawnmower. Did we even pay that much for it when it was new? Not sure. They told him what was wrong with it, and he decided he would take a look at it. He brought it home, put on his manly work clothes, turned up the tunes and took apart our lawnmower. He then put it back together, and guess what? It worked! Started up on the first try! No more broken lawnmower. Yes, my husband is the man!

A Much Needed Vacation

Not this weekend, but last, I went with my family (my mom, dad, sister, sister, sister's "friend", and two sons) to our cabin. Michael was out of town, so it was a nice distraction for me. I ordered a bunch of pictures and decided that I was going to take ALL my scrapbook stuff and bang out a whole bunch of pages. Well, I used about 40 of the 60 pictures I ordered and made about 10 or 12 pages. I was pretty proud of myself.
I love being at the cabin. There's no one else around. I'm there with my family. We go on walks, I scrapbook, we read, play lots of games, eat, and watch movies. We even floated down the river with canoes and did some shopping in West Yellowstone. What's not to love? I just wish my hubby had been there with me, that would have made it perfect. I wasn't necessarily ready to come home, but we had an eventful week/weekend ahead of us.
My cousin was married on Friday 8/3, so we had a lot of family in from out of town. I have a large family on both sides (both my parents are one of seven children) and love to see all of them. It was a busy, but fun weekend with all the different family gatherings. And Michael even surprised us all and came home 6 hours early, in time for the wedding! I was thrilled to have him there with me.
All in all, I had two fun weekends in a row, one very relaxing, one a little more crazy, but both were just what I needed!
